| + | #REDIRECT [[John's Journal]] |
| − | | |
| − | [[John]]'s Journal is one of the iconic items of [[:Category:Supernatural|Supernatural]]. | |
| − | | |
| − | First appearing in [[1.01 Pilot]] when John leaves it for [[Dean]] before disappearing, the Journal (which [[Sam]] and Dean most frequently refer to as "Dad's Journal") seems to hold a large body of John's [[Hunting]] knowledge, though not all. Increasingly as time goes on, Sam & Dean comment on the information that John has left out of the Journal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Nevertheless, Sam and Dean frequently use it as their first point of reference when investigating a job.
